davehux Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) Hi to all you Basschatters. I've posted a couple of things already, but thought I'd better be polite and stand at the front of the class for a couple of minutes. Currently enjoying my mid-life crisis and building a collection of 4 string planks, much to my wife's exasperation. I started off as a bedroom bass hero, but after plucking up the courage to start going to the Jam Night at the MMI Bar in St Agnes, I've been asked by a few people to play bass with them and their own bands. You'll still see me almost every Wednesday night at the MMI, even though we're currently having to go acoustic for a couple of weeks following noise complaints from the neighbour Current banjo list is....... 1977 Rickenbacker 4001 in Autumn Glo - have to thank Chris Squire and The Yes Album for starting my 40 year love affair with the Ricky 1985 Westone Thunder III fretless - probably my favourite guitar to play 1990's Yamaha BB404 fretless - first one I bought, about 5 years ago. Now in retirement following the purchase of the big hitters above. Nice, easy playing, bass. Unknown - Harper fretless electro-acoustic - bought from fleaBay last week to cover our enforced acoustic sessions at Jam Night Marshall MB150 combo Boss ME20 Bass effects pedal Future purchase would be a Ricky 4001 fretless in Mapleglo - there was one sold on here in July that was the perfect thing. Some brilliant, useful, information here on Basschat, particularly the eBay watchers - keep up the good work All the best Dave PS - into Porcupine Tree, Yes (obviously), Marillion, Floyd, Rush, PG Genesis, and most of the usual suspects of 70's - 80's rock/metal [attachment=86835:girls.JPG] Edited August 12, 2011 by davehux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnozzalee Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) Same music taste and i'm from Truro too originally! More of an EB3 fan than Ricky's , although, I had a '72 sunburst 4001 copy made by John Birch, sounded just like Geezer Butler . Welcome Aboard!
